"hey babygirl ive been watching you all day"
Ashley reached down to pick up her phone and her heart froze..."I...why..is he texting me...i thought once he had his way it would be over..." she said to herself terrified of what it could be. She debated about opening the text, should she just delete it or should she read it? In one quick click, she opened it. She shouldnt have...her eyes filled with fear as she saw something she never wanted to see again. Underneath the photograph were the words, "can you handle it?"
"Yo ashley, wud up?"
"Will! you scared me" she said as she quickly deleted the text.
"Geeze no reason to get all jumpy..dinner time!"
Ashley washed up and went down to eat. Carlton and Hilary looked at her as she walked in.
"Nice of you to join us ashley" said her father.
Ashley couldnt not sit still at the dinner table, she felt like her stomach was coming up her throat...she couldnt sit there any longer, all she could think about was that text message. "He hasnt spoken to me since that last time, i thought it was over...what am i going to do...?" Forgetting she was at the dinner table with her family, her head fell into her hands as she was overwhelmed with her own thoughts.
"Ashley are you feeling ok?"
"I'm just feeling a bit sick mom, im gonna go to my room and lay down"
In her room, Ashley sat on her bed trying to calm herself down. She looked down at her phone and noticed she had received yet another text while she was at dinner. She opened her phone and trembling a bit, read it aloud to herself.
"You better be ready for me...im coming to your house soon, get ready to be... there was a loud knock at the door and Will bursted through the door.
"Great news Ash!! Connor is coming! He just called to let me know!"
"I..ya..i know, Will, will you please leave, i dont feel well at all"
Ashley felt nauseous, she grabbed her stomach and fell onto her bed. Just the thought of what had happened before made her sick. She started to cry as she thought to herself "Not again..i cant go through that again..." She came to her senses and realized there was nothing she could do by crying, he was coming no matter how much she cried. "Ill lock my door at night so he cant come in, ya thats it, thats what ill do! He wont be able to harm me if he cant get to me" Just the thought of that eased her mind and she quickly fell asleep...
The next morning she was awakened by the sun coming through her window. She looked at the clock, it was only 9 AM, so she decided to roll over and go back to sleep. As soon as she turned to her side her heart stopped dead in the middle of a beat. He was standing in her doorway shutting the door, with a smile on his face that haunted her dreams for weeks. She quickly closed her eyes praying it was all just a bad dream...she heard the click of the lock she had on her door and she knew it was no dream..."God help me" she whispered...
